You are almost there! This will be a stunner once done boss

[dabuzz 1,297]

This car still a myth??

[WLDRX2 1,538]

A little bit .

Unbolted the garage door and rolled it out to wash the last 2years dust off it about 2 weeks ago.

I got the under dash tray repaired and relined a few months ago.

Just super busy with work this year, but the boss just paid me out for my unused holidays from this year, I  had 3 days off, so I  might treat myself to an exhaust .

But on the bright side, I've pulled the wifes b1600 apart and dropped it off at my mates panel shop.

So thats another running car I've pulled to bits ☺

[dabuzz 1,297]

That motors gonna need a rebuild before its even started at this rate - you are achingly close too

[WLDRX2 1,538]

You sound like all my mates.

One day. One day.

[kyteler 49,574]

Maybe spin the W in your user name upside down for the time being?

[Kimjon 3,532]

What's the rush, if you finish it...you'd need to start another project straight away to fill the gap. So it makes more sense to just prolong this one.

Exhaust looks ace man!

good to see that there are still good shops out there that take the time on the smaller details rather than getting it out the door

[dabuzz 1,297]

wow - i dont believe it......

Top work, now push it back in the shed for another 3 years, just to be safe

 

[WLDRX2 1,538]

Now now dabuzz, don't be like that. 

And it's closer to 4 years between efforts.

But not this time. wait and see. Big things happening soon.

Cheers piazzanoob , I'm bloody stoked with it, and the lads at Vinny Fab did a great job.

It is hard taking it anywhere I've ended up being very protective of it, and trusting anyone is hard. But so far I've been very lucky to have dealt with some top guys, who are just as crazy and bigger perfectionists than me.

Sounds freakn awesome mate!

[WLDRX2 1,538]

Thanks mate. 

 

couldn't have hoped for a better outcome for the day.

My 8 year old engine started first pop without a hitch.

It sounds soooo good. a wof might not be a simple thing.

And I got to fang it up and down the street .

 

Best day ever.

Good times - braps and gillies

I was wondering what the cover on the rear axle tube if for?

 

[WLDRX2 1,538]

Cover on the diff is to protect the brake lines.

Passengers side is on top, drivers side is on the bottom. 

It's only chrome because .... um ..... yeah.... I got carried away. 

[yoeddynz 14,352]

Fuck yeah!! Congrats on first drive. It sounds perfect and looks so lush. 

You'll be taking it to hanmeet yeah?.....   

[oldrx7 6,825]

heck yes, awesome update ! 

[WLDRX2 1,538]

Cheers lads.

Still have a lot of little bits to finish off.

Starting it has pointed out a few things that need attention (nothing major) leaks and such.

As much as I hate to do it, it might have to come up a little bit, cross member is 105mm off the ground, that I am happy with, but the very expensive ceramic coated exhaust is only about 60mm, and may or may not have already made friends with the road.

I'm not sure if it's normal, but the mazdaspeed lsd sounds like a bag full of hammers clanging and banging away. I knew it was going to be tight, but shit.

 

But all that means fuck all. I am just happy I finally pulled my finger out and got shit done on it.
